taken from my lovely Aussie friends
1. Take a picture of your bag.
2. Now dump everything out and neatly adjust them, and take a picture
3. Talk about the items inside.
4. Everyone should try this shiz out. It's so cool.
My bag, on my mom's bed, and my sister's hand. Bow. It is one of those brand new imported bags that my godmother could find no use of (prolly coz THERE'S A LOT OF THEM?) and so Nikki happily accepted this as her own. The brand is progres.
Currently, this bag stores (from l-r) a fan that I bought but don't really use, the book that I am reading at the moment (Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard book! I've waited months for this. It's so fancy and photogenic right thar.), my wallet (which is a Christmas gift from a parent and most probably fake, shh. I don't have any other wallets.), my cellphone (II, the one I'm using often was in my pocket. This particular one in the photo is what I use for work and IMing/texting my online buddies. My sister gave it to me last 2 Christmases ago.) annnnnnd my bag organizer of STUFF which I will be talking about in photo 3 below!
STUFF. The bag organizer also came from a parent last Christmas. I didn't realize how much I desperately needed one until I started using it. I probably won't be doing this meme if I had no bag organizer, because I'd be so ashamed to. I'm such a pig when it comes to my belongings. So imagine how my life had drastically changed after I started using it. It makes my life tremendously easier (I didn't realize how much time I was wasting looking for my stuff in my jungle of a bag).
Moving on to the contents! From left to right that's my anti-mosquito OFF lotion (which I don't really use too, but it makes me feel a little bit safer in a girl scout way?), my cellphone, my latest ATM transaction receipt (so I can keep track if have enough money to buy a Nintendo DSi)...and that's Burt's Bees Lip Balm on top of it ( one of the three lip accessories I have, why yes! I am quite vain with my lips!). Next is a cute jelly bug notepad which has not been used yet (and that is only because I have ANOTHER notepad in use up there, the Panasonic one which I took from a teacher...with permission). Then an Estee Lauder blush on and Nichido face powder (for when I need to look presentable!) my reliable Saphir click pen, a matte pad which I also got from a parent that I have not opened yet and a tiny Johnson's baby powder bottle for emergency refreshments.
Besides the Panasonic pad are my two lipsticks, the first if I want to intimdate people look older than my age and the second if I want to act my age :B. Both of them are Maybelline because my lips won't take any other. The lipstick case is a thoughtful present from my Assistant Directress. NEXT is my can't-live-without Mentos gum pack and the two bottles next to it are my perfume (dream angels desire--one of those staple souvenirs from the uncles in the U.S.) and powder-scented Beauty Bar hand sanitizer (again, from a parent. You know sometimes, they DO make my life complete. They really sometimes do.)
Still inside my bag organizer is my reading light (from my sister, which I haven't really used yet :( but I swear I will which is why I'm taking it everywhere. One will never know when I'll be stuck somewhere dark and would have nothing to do but read!) and my napkin kit, for when it's red alert day.
My wallet has, like my bag and bag organizer, a frickin' LOT of pockets. It's kind of cool but in the longer run...not very practical...especially if you're on the cashier and you go looking around for things while there's a long line behind you. Also, I have too many pockets, but too few cards. Namely: Laking National card (a bookstore advantage card...which is my mom's actually but clearly the person who gets robbed in the bookstore is me) and beside it the Fully Booked discount card (a cooler bookstore advantage card in that it gives 10% discount in any book purchase--and I got this one for free. No receipts accumulated. Nada. Just acting prowess. I'm serious. heterotopic and sillue know that I can also be a cranky customer.) On the lower portion: my Philhealth card, my expired Alumni card, and the most important of all, my ATM card. Hidden here is my Blood type ID, employee ID (which isn't actually valid because my supervisor signed where my signature is supposed to be...no further comment). In the middle is my BIR card, my only valid ID. I used it to encash a check once and the teller stared at it and went, "You look like some little girl her mom sent to buy soy sauce and oil at the nearby sari sari store".
Y'know, while doing this meme, I began wondering about certain things that I was expecting to show up here but aren't...here. So I grabbed the bag again and inspected the pockets (the bag and the organizer combined has pocket universes) and lookee here!
See. Pocket Universes. No, actually, some of these came from my OTHER bags which as it happens, haven't been emptied out yet. So I was going, "SO THAT'S WHERE IT IS!!" a lot. This meme is a lifesaver and Nikki never learns.
From left, my tissue holder, my swiss knife (from my sister! Some time soon it WILL be useful.) an expired Pasto card (I think honest_illusions might remember that...YEAH It's still with me!), my payslip (yes.), below that is the McDonalds Year of the Ox Red Envelope Coupons, a ponytail (which I won't be needing in a while...) and a calling card of the salon I'm recently going to. To the right is ANOTHER lip accessory (an Avon lip gloss, not Maybelline, but it's fairly safe...), my work keys (I open and close the darned place.) and my house keys (with the Beijing Olympics mascots!) and there I decided to get a pic of my other cellphone (Samsung D900i, which I adore. It is not touch screen but it is pretty and has radio!)
ETA: I love how this bag meme made people (especially online ones!) more real!
ETA2: It also perfectly deceives people into thinking that I am an organized person.
